Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 2884, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR AMBULANCE SERVICE FOR THE HAIKU REGION OF MAUI,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to improve emergency health care for residents and visitors of the Haiku region of Maui by providing twenty-four-hour advanced life support ambulance service in that region.
The Mayor of Maui County, a Maui County Council member, American Medical Response, and several concerned individuals testified in support of this bill. The Department of Health opposed the measure.
Your Committee has amended this bill by:
(1) Changing the effective date to July 1, 2020, to encourage further discussion; and

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2884, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2884, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
